Your 30th birthday is a few months out, and as a gift to yourself, you’re considering a fuller, poutier top lip. Before moving ahead with lip filler, you want to know which product will offer subtle definition and volume enhancement, and what the lip filler cost in Timonium, MD typically runs.
Keep reading to learn what Dr. Brent Birely, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will go over with you before you book your appointment for lip injections.
What Goes Into My Lip Filler Cost in Timonium, MD?
During your consultation, you'll show Dr. Birely the shape you're after, from a sharper edge to more volume in the center, and it's great to bring a reference photo if you have one or two. Then, he'll look at how your upper and lower lip balance and let you know how many syringes he recommends for getting the volume and definition you’ve described.
Keep in mind most master injectors, like Dr. Birely, will recommend starting slow and low. That's because you can always return in two weeks to add some additional product to specific areas.
Before you leave, ask about:
the price per syringe, and whether the Mini Lip Treatment, at a third to half of a syringe, is priced differently
which product he'll use, and whether it changes the price
who will do your injections, Dr. Birely or one of the injectors on his team
how often you'll be back for a touch-up, and what that visit costs
Until you have Dr. Birely's individualized quote, national figures give you a range. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports an average of about $684 per syringe of hyaluronic acid filler, while the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery gives a range of $540 to $1,680.
Which Lip Filler Will Dr. Birely Suggest If I Want a Poutier Look?
If your goal is a poutier look with a crisp edge, Dr. Birely may suggest Restylane Kysse, which is made for the lips and lasts up to a year.
On the day of your appointment, he'll apply a topical numbing cream to the borders of your lips. Next, he’ll precisely deliver a series of hyaluronic acid into your lips and gently shape it into place.
During this five to ten minute-process, you may feel several tiny pinches.
Post-procedure swelling is to be expected, especially after your first set of injections. Dr. Birely will give you a small ice pack to apply in the office and when you get home.
To be on the safe side you should book your first lip filler treatment, at least a week ahead of your birthday dinner.
Typically, you’ll return to our office around the nine-month mark for a refresher visit, once the pout starts to soften.
You'll see Dr. Birely or one of the injectors on his team, such as Cheryl Sugar, PA-C, at our office in Lutherville, MD.
